Cambridge City – Today around 1 p.m. Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division Trooper Jeremy Woods stopped a box truck on SR 1 near I-70 for a routine inspection. He found the refrigeration unit on the truck had an error code and was not operational, and the truck was hauling food to be delivered to restaurants in the Richmond, Connersville and Rushville area.

Further investigation found the rear food storage compartment to be at 76 degrees when it is not allowed to be over 41 degrees. Woods contacted the Wayne County Health Department who inspected the load and condemned much of the food. The truck had already made deliveries to restaurants in Greenfield and New Castle.

Condemned was two cases of eggs, tofu and bean sprouts as well as some noodle products. The truck was also hauling meat that was showing signs of heat distress, but had not yet reached the standard to be condemned.

The driver, Jianmin Wang age 38 of Atlanta Ga., was cited for the federal statute Non English Speaking Driver and was placed out of service. The company “Just In Service,” out of Louisville Ky., was cited for violation of the Food Transportation Safety Law.
